It is not recommended a lot can go wrong.
You are better off / safer to simply create new user w/admin privledges account with the name you prefer to see, and move your files over to the new user/admin account via File Sharing.
Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support
Set up file sharing on Mac - Apple Support
I have seen many issues here—
Change the name of your macOS user account and home folder
